Opportunity Details
The Safe Online Youth Ambassadors Program, brought to you by NerdzFactory Company through the support of Meta, is designed to engage and empower youths, particularly National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members, to become leaders in digital safety within their communities in South Western States(Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Ekiti, and Oyo).
According to a global study released by Surfshark, an Amsterdam-based cybersecurity firm, Nigeria was the 32nd most breached country on the globe in the first quarter of 2023. During this period, Nigeria experienced 82,000 leaked accounts, reflecting a staggering 64% increase from the previous quarter. This alarming trend highlights the vulnerability of Nigerian internet users to cyber threats, including data breaches, identity theft, and online fraud. The Safe Online program aims to reduce these numbers by raising awareness of young people in Nigeria on how to stay safe online.
The Safe Online Youth Ambassadors Program is a core component of the Safe Online Program, specifically designed for National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members with a passion for digital safety. It offers them specialized training and opportunities to advocate for responsible and secure online behaviour among young people. The initiative not only educates corps members but also empowers them to lead and implement digital safety projects within their places of primary assignment and host communities.
